Trouble with guessing blanks in (2024 Edition with ETS Material) TC and SE Strategy - Session 4

Hello!
@max Could you please help me with this doubt?

I’m not able to guess the blanks for this question. I would agree that I’m not good at guessing.

I made a semantic guess like this:

I guessed blank 1 to be ‘hesitant/resistant’ since ‘and’ is support word. I just tried to replicate the way Greg does by taking similar words for the support relation. But when I looked at the options, they weren’t very clear. I feel I have made some mistake in understanding. Could anyone help me with this?

The same goes for the blank 2. I guessed the blank as important. And my evidence for that was the public’s collective consciousness.

Pay attention to the ideas not just the words

Your guess for the first blank should be something that represents “resistant to analysis”

Let me know if that makes sense and why then we’ll tackle the second blank
